I have a '95 SL2 with two coolant temp sensors. One is mounted to the engine block (I assume this is the one for the gauge) The other is mounted in the coolant reservoir tank. ( I assume this is the one for the aux. fan to turn on) Am I correct? If not what is the function of the one mounted in...

For what it is worth (and to me, a lot), I wrote an e-mail to my server and asked if there was some way they could put a stop to that particular type of e-mail. I was getting dozens of them every day. So, today I had only one and no spam at all. Can't believe it. Hope this helps someone...

I want to improve the pump and filtering system of my 3500 gallon pond. I have been looking at the Aquabead system. My current system calls for me to remove a couple of charcoal bags and rinse them several times a week. With the Aquabead system the pump and everything is above ground and all you...

Hi all, I need an airstone that will work in 3 feet of water. Where does one get such a thing? TIA John

I have been jealous all summer while I read post after post about baby GF. I looked and looked and didn't see any despite seeing action between the 5" GF. Yesterday while scooping out leaves I scooped a baby GF about an 1 1/4" long. He looked dead. Oh well. There are maybe more. Turns out he...

Though I did not have any physical damage by the hurricane, and was without power (except generator) for a week, the high winds took the tall plants, thalia, taro, and cannas and threw them into the pond along with lots of leaves and pine needles. It was about Monday after the hurricane that...

Hi, Anybody out in the south eastern PA region interested in a medium sized male chocolate cichlid, free of charge? He has finally grown too large for me, and I can't put in any fish in the 55g he's in because they become lunch. He's between 5"-6", color ranges from very light brown to almost...

My baby, approx. 14 to 15" koi, has outgrown it's home. No room to build it a new one. Same mistake many new ponders' make. No excuses!!!! It is still healthy and happy and eats from my hand, but I feel like I'm keeping a goldfish in a teacup. Anyone in central New Jersey who can prove they have...

Would deer go for parrotfeather? Yesterday, when I noticed that much of the parrotfeather (1 plant in a pot on bottom of teeny water garden) was suddenly draped over the edge of the water garden. I figured the dogs had been fooling around, possibly while retrieving a tennis ball (where else would...

You all remember me complaining all season about my pond looking like the Potomac River, well it is now clear.What created this awesome change in the water clarity, chemicals no, UV no, was it weather, no! I added more Water Hycianth to...

I need some information on what a 'veggie filter' should be. Some say that the surface area should be 10 - 20% of your pond. Others say that it should be 10 - 20% of the pond volume. Which is correct. Also some say not to use lava rocks, others say it's okay. What about water flow? How many gph...

will the plastic bird netting with 1" squares actually keep the heron out? Is it strong enough? And will the heron stop coming if the pond is netted? Can I just put the net about 4" above the water and get it taunt by placing rocks on it? Also I put 4" black pipe in the pond but had to put rocks...

Today one of our Orandas was discovered in the inverted position. Bereft of life it now wings it's way along the British sewer system after being buried with all honours. Bloody fish!!!! I'll miss that one, it had lovely markings YP

Hi all! Just wanted to say hello and share a happy day. Today was my daughter's christening ceremony at the church and reception at home. The church sermon today was so appropriate! Felt a spiritual renewness. Then the reception at home. Many exciting things took place, one that is pertinent...

Can we ask? Dare we repeat? BV.

Hey, what do you guys do to get your Koi ready for the winter?

Each fall I post this recommendation. Please consider covering your pond if it is less than 5000-10,000 gallons and freezes over. Small ponds with many fish may not freeze if they are 4 ft. deep but your fish will be very stressed in the spring. Each year our local pond friends have several...
